  • His Eyes Mission needs a new road for their 2nd coffee farm to be able to haul 100 pound bags of coffee out of the fields. Tractor Time with Tim uses their John Deere 1025R (Bombin) to cut in a road that at least the Gator can traverse. Tim actually starts to like the box blade.

    I think a subsoiler to break up the sod would have made the difference. Learning the best process with your tractor is what all small tractor owners love to do. When you find that process that works best for you and you accomplish the goal it is a great source of pride for the ingenuity and work done. Love to see that process in motion. I think that is a big reason why I and others love this channel.

    Anytime you want to grade, you must start out with virgin soil. You can not grade with lumps in your soil. When using the bucket, try little loads because of the tractor. Use your forks on your bucket to break up the soil, and then you can scoop it up. Learn to back drag with the bucket.

    I ran a 35 hp all gear Kubota doing grading on small and large lots for over 10 yrs. I had a hydraulic top link, side link to change the angle for doing swayles, and a hydraulic link to raise and
    lower the scare fire teeth. I could lower the teeth by 1in into the ground or full dig. I built all of this, I just wish I would have patented it, this was in the late 70s. If you have full control of the
    box blade it increases the efficiency by at least double. To be able to cut then feather or cut forward and back makes things go quick. And I made the box a lot heavier to dig better. Also did a lot of driveway preps, for concrete guys, with all the adjustments I could put it on grade, sub grade or gravel. I would love to build another. I would enjoy sharing what I have learned over the years.

    Nothing wrong with figuring it out with what you have, as you go... in fact, that's how best practices get discovered in the first place. I did something similar, albeit shorter and several degrees less steep, but I don't have a box blade, and thought I could use a front plow. I eventually learned to use the backhoe to move material from the high to low side (started at the bottom) and plow the final grade after.
    However you get there, your giving the locals ideas for future work, and they will be better prepared for future projects, even if this job isn't optimized. Perhaps seeing you learn by doing is exactly why you're meant to be there on this particular trip. Keep up the good work!

    Everyone kinda learns by trial and error. You just have to work with it and learn as you go; nothing wrong with that.
    I put in some trails on my property that this video reminded me about. A sloping field. I learned the hard way that it goes way quicker if you can scalp the grass down to nothing first. Then rip with the scarifiers until you can get the sod broken up and cleared out. Then use the box blade to smooth out the trail. The last parts of the trail certainly went faster than the first through accumulated knowledge from trial and error.

    Great video Tim! I have the same Frontier Box blade, and I have found you can use the back blade to level the soil you just collected in the box by lifting the 3 point at the end of the row, and moving a couple feet forward, then drop the 3point to the desired level, and push the soil back over where you scraped it from. Takes some practice as the rear tires control height and if you go over a mound or rock, you end up depositing a bunch of the soil you were pushing. Almost better to reverse direction and drag it back in the box in float on the 3PT. Just don't make a turn with the box blade down! things get bent when you do.

  • @hardwareguy1
    @hardwareguy1 Год назад +1

    Over the years of trial and error (lots of error) I find backing the box blade into the side of a hill is a great way of cutting into sod and dirt when the tractor isn't level. Then, once you get started, the tractor is always on level ground and the box blade is cutting the way you need it to

    Using the low gear will save brakes. That’s how we do it here driving the auto road down Mount Washington. 1st gear and as it rolls, you’ll hit a point that the transmission will automatically brake….it will allow you only a certain speed….like 15 mph which you can handle on that road.

    @ibwaldo Год назад +1

    I’m really enjoying this series. You are doing a great job working around the language barrier and that sure can complicate things.
    A box blade is a very versatile tool that can accomplish great results once you get them figured out. I think you saw that first hand on this episode. Next time I would use the scarifies to break through the sod and then back down the hill using the box blade as a dozer to strip the sod layer off. That should work better then pulling and eliminate the issue you were having with the box blade no longer cutting in when it was getting full. Once the sod layer is gone, switch back to dragging forward.
    If you look at the design of a box blade, the back wall where the two cutting edges are is an upside down Y. Pulling it forward is for finishing work (while grading) and for moving excess material in the box. Pulling it forward, you’re limited by how much you can cut in by two limitations:
    1 - the sidewalls of the box (although they are not the main limiting factor)
    2 - the rear blade is the main limiting element as it will start riding along the surface and reduce the amount of weight you have to cut in.
    When driving backwards and using the box blade as a dozer blade you’ll reduce those limitations. The more material you have the more it’s pushing the blade down, so you can be very aggressive at removing humps and sod. As you already know, you have to watch what’s going on and adjust the hydraulics constantly for the best results. I think you already understand the top and side adjustments on the 3 point.
    Thanks for sharing and maybe what I was trying to say helps a little.

    • @patrickrooney1307
      @patrickrooney1307 Год назад +1

      Be careful when pushing backwards with your box blade as you could possibly hit something unforeseen in the dirt and mess up some of the 3 point linkage arms. If you're pushing slowly you may not run into any problems but there is still that possibility.

  • @johngersna3263
    @johngersna3263 Год назад +1

    Tim, I think that I would have used the backhoe and gone in across just far enough to make a level pad for the tractor and loader and that way you could maintain the level across the hillside with the loader and then use the box blade to smooth everything else. That way also the loader bucket with the teeth should be able to undercut the sod. Just an idea. God bless and you're doing a great thing for these people. 👍👍

    "little is much when God is in it, labor not for wealth and fame, theres a crown and you can win it, if you go in Jesus' name"

    A rear blade with offset, tilt, and twist on a series 3 tractor would be able to direct the soil from side to side .. and while you're at the dealership have them throw on a top and tilt kit so you can do it without having to twist turnbuckles. Oh, they don’t have a local dealership? Yeah the project is going to be alot harder ...

    Healthy sod is very difficult to get up. Sod cutter machines are very expensive.
    I think if I were to do the job: I will try and get a chisel plow and attempt the scarify and break up the sod. My second choice would be to rototill it. The box blade should work better once the sod is removed.

    we always had someone stand on our grader blade to make it cut better. we had a 1954vac case tractor. we found the slower you could go the better it would cut and not float. that was funny. future medical clinic! great video series.

    That looks like the sort of thing you would normally use a tiller on first to break up the sod.

  • @davesmith8936
    @davesmith8936 Год назад

    The power of a dozer is that the blade can tilt side to side. If you work backwards (box blade first) and tilt the box blade that is how you get a level cut on the side of the hill. Hen you can level the box blade and keep working backwards so your tires are on the flat road. Obviously a Top-and-Tilt kit greatly increases efficiency but I used to ride on the box blade while my friend drove his Kubota and I was madly spinning that tilt clevis! Not OSHA approved! LOL!

    I think aversion to box blades is a back east phenomenon
    Out west we all use them
    Very versatile and once you master back blading you’ll be amazed
    I still can’t understand why anyone would put useless weight on the back for dedicated ballast when you can have a box blade that does so much and is also ballast
    Plus weld a trailer hitch on the back and you can move trailers

    Hello Sir I think if you had a rear tiller attachment makes a great tool for building roads a driveways coronavirus start to finish because you can till the forage grasses under the soil an it makes finish grading easier or fine grading an the scarfing is great to break up the top soil to make it easier on the tiller attachment maybe you can mention that to the mission crews your working with in Honduras South America have fun an be safe.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽

    @MysteryValleyRanch Год назад

    Tim, on slopes like that specifically trying to cut in a road, tilt the box to what you feel is extreme. It’ll cut the high side better and drop the dirt on the low side. Then take several passes. Each pass will cut a little wider. Just stick with it. I wish I could figure out a hydraulic top and tilt for my box blade. It would really make it perform

      @@TractorTimewithTim yeah 2019 1025r. 5’ box blade. I live on a hill so I’m constantly using the box blade for making flat pads and roads. I really want to use a standard manual hydraulic control much like the loader control for the top and tilt control rather than the electric over hydraulic setup that you use. However I’m not a hydraulic expert so I have questions. Anyway, it’s all moot as of right now, not in the budget.
